About Our Farm

OUR FARM

Allstar Organics is a continuously certified organic farm in operation since 1994. The farm includes two acres of aromatic plants and edible flowers at our home in Lagunitas, CA., 10 acres of specialty and heirloom crops located in Nicasio, CA., and 27 acres of specialty crops at our third location in Petaluma, CA. We utilize a routine of organic soil enrichment programs in order to maintain soil fertility... the foundation of our production. As a result, our vegetables and herbs acquire vivid color, texture, fragrance, flavor, and nutritional quality.

In 2004, Allstar Organics launched a line of hydrosols and essential oils produced in our on-farm distillery from organic plants grown on the farm. Featured in Town and Country Magazine, these delightful, high-quality, artisnal botanical essences have become an integral part of Allstar's value-added product line.

OUR HERBAL PRODUCTS

In 2006, Allstar launched a line of dried herbs, spices, herbal salts, and herbal sugars. Fresh-dried, intensely colored, fragrant, and flavorful, our herbal products are enjoyed by new and experienced cooks alike. These delicious and unique ingredients, as seen on NBC's Today Show, are available at Allstar's farmers' market booths at San Francisco Ferry Plaza and Marin Civic Center, through our website, and through the quality purveyors who carry our products.

OUR FARMING COMMUNITY

We are certified organic by Global Culture. Our production field in Nicasio at LaFranchi Family Dairy Ranch enjoys the benefit of a Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT) easement. Currently, MALT protects, in perpetuity, over 50% of all land zoned for agriculture throughout west Marin County. We rely on the experience and advice of our fellow farmers, and our local UC Extension, for ongoing information and support about sustainable agriculture. Visit the Grown in Marin website for more information about Marin's agricultural producers. We benefit directly from the organizations that steadfastly promote the farmers' market culture and practice: Agricultural Institute of Marin (AIM) and The Center for Education About Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA)
